Comedian. lawyer, jurist, Vince August, with us in studio in New York today,

wearing a Troy Palomalu, Pittsburgh Steeler, Jersey, and by the way, adorned in a brand new background. A brand new piece of software. A brand new look for Wilcane Country. I'm working on it for months. Nice job. Thank you. We're kicking off all kinds of things.

Got lots of features. You know, we could do... You really? You got all kinds of features? Yeah, let's check this out. We can go to the chat right there. We can see what people are saying right next to us. Oh, boom. Love it. Yeah. I'll get it in dark mode, but we're baby steps, you know.

But yeah, we can see what the chat's saying. I understand dark mode. Yeah. So, all right, I love it. The chat's now part of the show. Yeah. Come to a meeting every now and then, well, you can see all kinds of things happening here. Why? Why are you wearing Troy Palomalu?

Why? Because the country. By the way, just give me credit. The country. I saw that. I knew exactly who was. The country is kicking off the NFL this week. We are all celebrating our teams in some type of spirit.

Unfortunately, you don't even have a cowboy's pin on your jacket. There's nothing doubt. Not even a pride flag, something to show me. You're a cowboy's fan. Nothing at all. Nothing there. Not even a cowboy's helmet behind you on the desk. What is this?

What kind of fan are you? Are you even coming to Jersey this weekend? you chose the NFL over your president. Absolutely, yeah. I don't have to be reminded that there's an election in November. Yeah, I'm one of these people that actually knows. I don't have to, I don't need a party to tell me to vote. Yeah, I know what happens every November.

I mean, some of us are patriots. Some of us are patriots. Some of us are Steelers. Some of us are cowboys. You know, the flag kneelers play sports ball. You know, that's what's some of the difference. Some of us fight for the country. some of us fight from our couch.

Yes, absolutely. Yeah. Some of us are Patriots. I did a good job with that. Some of us are Cowboys fans. Some of us aren't. That's what the extreme politico says about. I was even texting Eddie, your producer last night.

I said, Eddie, what are you watching? He goes, what do you think? I'm watching the RNC. What do you think? I'm some guy but Cabrone. I'm watching the football like you and me, Umbre. Don't worry about it.

We went back and forth. We even have the text. Show him the text. Your producer. Come on. Oh, Ed's a producer now. I consider him a producer. I know you consider him AI replaceable.

Yeah. Yeah. What are you talking about? Ed. Ed. Eduardo. Ed down here in Dallas, Ed? Yes.

We have a relationship. You have no idea what's happening. Look at the images, Will. Look at the images. Pull it up. Pull up the text. Somebody's got a text. Come on.

I sent it over. Yeah. I sent it to the power. Will has it. Me? Yeah. I have what? Me and Eddie.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. It's one of our graphics I send you. Eddie Country. Eddie Country. Yeah. Let me see. I don't even know what you're talking about. Oh, here we go.

Yeah. Come to a meeting. Come to a meeting. It's fun. Why don't you guys just host and produce the show? Let's see what you got going here. Eddie Country. Are you at or watching the R&C midterm thing in Dallas?

I assume that's Ed texting you that? No, that's me texting him. Yeah. At game time. That works. That's how texting works. Yeah. No, he texted you that. I texted Eddie.

No. The blue text is the cinder. Yes, that's me. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. That's what I was saying. No, no, it's not what I'm saying, because he doesn't say Cabrone. This is fake.

This is AI. I don't even know what you're talking about. There's no way, Ed. That's me and Eddie. What do you take me for? It's literally the time the football game started. Team Mobile. I'm watching the football game, you mihombre?

Come on. If it wasn't real, then Vince's his battery would be at 100%. We have relationships here. We talk to each other. I know you're not part of this. Ed is on vacation. Scott, do you think this is real? It's not real.

Yeah. Nobody calls him Eddie. He's on vacation. I do. I'm Vinny. He's Eddie. You made him sound Italian. By the way, how offensive.

I can't wait to tell Ed that that Vince is. Vince was impersonating Ed, and he threw in MiHombrae. Mehombie. I threw in Cabrone. Look at this. Like this. Look at... Where is Ed?

I'm going to send him this. This is what Vince thinks you sound like, right here. I'm watching the football game, you, me, hombray. You even broke the English up. You even broke it up. It's not even clean English. Exactly. It's Eddie.

To make it as realistic as possible. This is terrible. You guys walked me into that trap. I don't even know how that happened because I did wonder like what Vince was doing last night. I did walk right into it. You missed a little bit. Listen, I think actually you missed. So I watched the last five minutes of the Patriots Seahawks game and it was all I needed to see.

It's all I need to see. I just need to see Drake May lead them on a potential game tying game. drive with his legs, right? Beautiful. Two fourth down conversions. And you're like, la la la, Drake May. And then throw an interception into the end zone to lose the game. All you got is kick a field goal, Drake. All you got to do is kick a field goal. So I saw the last five minutes after Trump's speech the rest of the time. I did watch the RN. I was there for a lot of the night. And then I watched it. And you did miss. You know what you missed, Vince? What I missed. Catch me up. Catch me up. You miss some comedy. You miss some comedy. You miss some comedy.

Let's say. Okay. All right. Tell me if you. This is President Trump talking about James Talariko, the candidate for Senate in Texas. He was also somebody that hated eating meat, but he ran a campaign to beat meat. He called it beat meat. I don't know what the hell he meant by the... These people are going to tell me what the hell does he wants to beat meat. But it was bad for his image, so he started eating meat. and he recently it's getting worse. I'm getting myself in Trump.

It's getting worse. This is prime time. Come on, Ben. Let me tell you. He's got a tour after this presidency is over. He's got to go on a straight up comedy tour. Not any type of...

You being legit. You're a comedian. I don't even know if you're that big of a Trump fan. I don't think you're coming at this from the I think Trump can do no wrong angle. No, I'm not that guy. coming this from from a comedian that guy's got talent

I'm telling you right now I want to see him go on a comedy tour he doesn't want to yeah he does you know what he also does he does that thing where he delivers a line he beats meat and and he looks away am I right

yeah it's exactly right he knows it he does the look away he does the look away yes I like on paper those jokes aren't that funny no beat meat okay what are we in

seventh grade. But it's all of it together. It works though. It's the president of the United States saying it. And by the way Vince, I'm not even 100% sure that he knew the joke going into. Meaning like he didn't say he figured it out halfway through.

Yeah. That's exactly right. And so it's dawning on him as at that moment as dawning on you which it makes it hilarious. And then he does the look away. He beats his meat and my guys. But look away. The look away is key

Oh And then he gave it up And he said I'm gonna start I'm gonna eat meat And then he goes Oh boy Oh wait

What am I saying Look at his beating He's eating And he's doing all kinds He's beating and eating Let's go Beating and meat That's the brush one

Look at that What a beater And he does it Oh he beats it He beats it He eats it It's great And he does the point

It's great And man You get it right there He was in he was in rare form. Here's another one. He doesn't just reserve it for his political adversaries, Democrat James Tolariko. Okay.

Vince, God help you if you are someone he's trying to help. He's your friend. He's campaigning for you. Because the thing is, somebody said this well, President Trump says the quiet thought bubbles, right? Like all the little things that you think, he says them, right? So here he is trying to get Ken Paxton over the finish line against Tala Rico. In the whole United States.

So I am very sorry, Ken. I hated to do. And I'll go backstage. Sir, you shouldn't have said that. You've given them a say, let me tell you. It's true. He may not dress right. He may not talk exactly perfectly.

And he may not be the best looking guy I've ever seen. You know what he is? He's the greatest attorney general in America, and he deserves to be your next senator. I'm telling him, by the way. He should be on this show. This is what we do to each other here all the time. He should be here right now.

Yeah. Actually, just sent him this clip. That was his second bite at the apple. He hit Paxton twice on how he dresses and how he looks. And he did it. And then they all cheered because he said best attorney general. And he's like, you know what? Let's run it again right back.

And goes. And you know what? Just one more time. He's not the best looking guy I've ever seen. It's wild. Oh, my God. But I've said this to people that, you know, have problems with everything he says, his rhetoric. And there are times where it is a lot.

It's too much. And there are times it's way over the line inappropriate. But you have to know what he is. And in essence, he's a construction guy from Queens, New York. This is what he is. He's a guy who built buildings from Queens, New York. He's a ballbreaker. And when you're in a family business, which is what he had,

and you get to be the top boss, you're the King Ballbreaker. So all you do. And you know he does it to his kids. I guarantee you he did. That thing he does the PACC, he does to his kids. He does that. He probably, Don Jr., the best thing I gave you. was my name because you'd be nothing went out of.

What would you be without my name? Look at you. Will, you've been around him. Does he, like, run these things by people before he says them in public, you think? Or does he just go off the cuff? Like, is he like, hey, I'm going to go up Ken Paxson real quick, or I'm going to hit Tala Rico with this. Is this good?

Oh, no. No. Like just straight off the dome. This is stream of consciousness, dude. This is one. That's wild. I'll give you another example. Okay.

Here's some color on this. They're at the American Airlines Center, right? Which is the home of the Dallas Mavericks and the Dallas Tars. The Dallas Mavericks are owned by Miriam Adelson, one of his biggest supporters, right? Absolutely one of his biggest supporters. She is a huge supporter of Israel, okay? He is friends with Miriam, okay? And I don't know if any of this goes through his head.

I was listening to this in the moment going, this is great. Even though I think nobody in the crowd knows what he's talking about. I know what he's talking about. And you know who else knows? The person who's home he's sitting in. Miriam Adelson, okay? So here he is in the middle of this Ardency Midterm Convention. And he's like, you know what?

I have something on? I got something on the Luca trade. Oh. That big from the standpoint of like this, this is a big Dallas Mavericks team, which is going to be hopefully good. I don't understand, I must tell you, I don't understand the trade.

That trade is... Why do I? know about basketball. I would say that was not going to, it's not going to go down as the greatest trade in the history of sports. It might go down as the worst trade in the history of sports. No, actually, okay, you know the worst trade in the history of sports, right? The great Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth, 19-year-old pitcher for a 36-year-old, third baseman, and $100,000. At that time, that was like $10 million, I guess, because Boston needed money. So Babe will always be the worst trade. But

is it Luca? That's not good. That wasn't good. Maybe we could redo that trade. I redo deals all the time. There we go. Yeah. Right back to him. He's the king of that. And then he circles it back to him.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and he didn't like, as a speaker, meaning, you know, any speaker, when you're in those moments, like one of the things that needed, There's a lot of things that would have registered to a speaker there. Like, oh, this is probably going to offend Miriam. Or, oh, maybe this isn't the right forum.

Or even this isn't the right crowd for opining on Luca Donchich in the NBA. Like, that crowd does not really care or maybe even know about Luca. None of that matter to him. It's a ballbreaker from Queens. He didn't. And Vince, it wasn't a line. It wasn't two lines. It was about a minute and a half.

or a minute on Luca Donchish trade. And, Dan, to your question, none of that's in the prompter. No. None of that. None of that. The hardest job in this country is the guy running the teleprompter for Donald Trump. That's probably the hardest. That guy or woman is sitting there running the teleprompter, and then there's like 30 seconds in. Oh, shit, here we go.

And then you don't know what to do. Do you go back? Do you go forward? You don't know what to do. You're just like, oh, my God. where are we in the speech? What do I do now? And you just sit there and say, all right, eventually maybe he'll come back to this. I don't know. Yeah.

Let's take a quick break, but continue this with comedian and lawyer. Vince August on Will Cain Country. Welcome back to Will Cain Country. We're still hanging out with our friend. Vince August. It's like a- I think you pause. That's what I would tell him. Just pause. You know what he is? I'll get right back here.

And getting to what you said, Will, as a comic, as a comic looking at this, he's a comic going on stage. He's got a set. He's got a set list. He's like Will Kane coming to the show with the show breakdown, and we get derailed within the first 30 seconds, because me, Patrick, are having fun with his Eddie thing or whatever, and the show's completely off the rails.

We're hitting none of our... A comic going, I say, I have a set list, but you know what, there's somebody in the front row? I got to do improv on this real quick. And then you start there, and then the improv goes to the next person, next person and you never even get to your set. And that's Trump given a speech. 80. He's 80. Just let's all remember that for a minute. He's 80. And you know, the thing, like on the Paxton thing, I don't know if this is 100% true for President Trump. I think it is. But Dan, yeah, I've been

around the president. And the president is varied. Like there are times when he's kind of quiet and and serious and times when he's loose. And you'll see a lot of videos of him in the back rooms with his staff. And he's busting balls to Vince's point. And he does it with a twinkle in his eye. Like it's all in fun. It's not mean. And so this is what I used to say on ESPN.

People, you know, some of my haters on ESPN say, oh, those guys hate you. No, they didn't hate me. You know, I can tell you, I know that for a fact. And do you know why? And I'm sorry, I'm talking about myself like this. but because I know what it is to be a dude. I'm not pretending like I was in locker rooms my whole life, but I was in a lot of locker rooms.

I've been around a lot of dudes. I've been around a lot of campfires. I've been in hunting camps. I've been around at all. When I can speak for myself, and Vince, you can tell them if you think this is different. When I like somebody, I will make fun of you. Yes.

I will make fun of you. Yes. If I don't like you, we won't talk much. It's not like I'm going to be mean to you, but you won't get, the guy that I, like, we'll get it the worst.

Do you see what I'm saying? And I think that President Trump comes from that world as well. What Trump is is all of our DMs to each other. Not the stuff we're posting online. Trump is what we're DMing each other as guys or friends or, you know. And if he's not making fun of you, you're in trouble. Right. Then he doesn't.

Exactly right. Then he doesn't have a relationship with you. He doesn't have a real relationship. Or he was making fun of you and he stops. Right. Then you know you did something wrong. Yeah. There's a disconnect. Yeah.

That's interesting. It was vintage Trump. I mean, it was, this was one of his better performances. Now, look, I think the speech was scheduled for 45 minutes and ran an hour and 45 minutes. Did he really? And yeah. Jeez. Yeah. That's crazy.

In all honesty, though. He spoke for an hour and 45 minutes. It's crazy on so many levels. It's crazy on so many levels. Oh, my God. But it's bad scheduling, though. Let's be honest. You don't want to go up against NFL kickoff week. This was not the week to do it.

I think it was an error in terms of if you want to hit a bigger audience. When would you do it? When would you do it? Last week. Last week. Okay, maybe last week. The NFL is now, this week. It's usually Thursday.

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday. Opener is usually Thursday. They're going to leave Saturday and Sunday. So it's, what is that, five days? Yeah, but there's something else about the NFL now that people keep forgetting. What would you say? It's about 100 million NFL fans in the United States, conservatively speak. I think that's a good number, 100,000.

How many of those 100, I'm sorry, 100 million, 100 million NFL fans? Of those 100 million, how many of those people are in fantasy leagues? 75 million? Mm-hmm. So there's something more. Now people are invested in the league. Sports betting. Right.

And then you have sports betting. people are invested in the league not just their teams so it's it's a different thing the NFL because of the gambling because of the fantasy so it's not just you're watching your team so last night was not sea hawks patriots fans last night was fantasy football people was gambling people and there were just fans that love to watch the game so i think it was a mistake my point is you can't escape it the only way to escape it would have been to do it last week but you do need it decently close to the actual voting periods. You know what I mean? Like when early voting starts. I'm not disagree. I think it should have been last week because last week was a weird dead week just for TV in general leading up to Labor Day. Kids are in college at that point. People are going into their last vacation week. There's no new TV on college football is just starting so people are going to start

gravitating to their TVs for that kind of stuff. I think last week would have been a better week to do it. I think this week was tactically a bad choice. But I guess the numbers will see them. We'll see them eventually. I'll tell you this. I will tell you this. It was, I would say it was a success inside the building.

Like, you know, I wondered how big a crowd it would get. Yeah, what was it like there? It got a big crowd. It was a big crowd for sure. And I mean, I'm not telling you the nosebleeds. The nosebleeds at the top were all full. But yeah, I mean, look, man, voter turnout for a presidential election with President Trump on the ballot is something like 60%. I think that's what it was in

2024, 60%. A midterm drops to 46%, right? And so it's what midterms in and of themselves are boring to the American public. And so that's what this was about to try to make it not, to make it be more excitement around it. And for the people in there, those are diehards. Those are people that really love it. And there were a lot of them, I'm telling you. More exciting. A lot of them in person. I don't know how it will rate. on TV. More excitement for the Republican Party because what usually happens is

the party that's in power, whatever you want to call it, usually has a bad midterm. And that's who you have to motivate because the disgruntleds are coming out. So, yeah, so look, I don't think it was a, I'm not saying it's a bad idea. I'm not saying the RNC midterm

is a bad idea. Not at all. So don't come at me in the comment said, oh my God, this hate a writer, Ryan, or whatever. No. Oh, they're certain. Yeah. It's a great idea. I just think the timing would have been better a week ago.

Go in the chat right now and tell him he's a hitter. Go in the chat. Go in the chat right now. You can see yourself right there in the chat. Well, there are people making some comments. Frodo Dill says, I don't find Trump amusing anymore. He has affected our pocketbooks and doesn't seem to care, not going to listen to his comedy, which I think is ridiculous.

It's a ridiculous comment. How has he affected your pocketbooks, Fredo, in a negative way? I'm curious what you would argue. I'm not saying you don't have something. I'm curious what it would be. Would you say the Iran war and the effect on gas prices? Gas, groceries. So what?

It goes up and down all the time. Would you say tariffs have contributed to inflation? Yeah, Jeffrey Tucker was talking about how he had to pay a $60 tariff on something recently. Dude, Patrick, I saw that. and I would say this to Jeffrey's face, cry me a river. He was buying a suit from UK or Italy or something. I saw that post.

He's a fancy boy. Let me get this straight. Let me get this straight, Jeffrey. Your imported Italian suit had a $60 tariff on it. Why don't you buy some Brooks brothers and quit bitching? That's what I thought. That's the point. I buy an American suit, man.

You got the fancy collars that detach. And I love Jeffrey. You said the fancy collars that detach from the shirt. Open your jacket, Will. Show them. Show them. Show them that Wrangler label. whatever it is.

Well, Will can afford the tariffs. What is it? Made out of Houston, maybe. There it is.

Right? You got custom. James Tala Rico held an event. Now, talk about a low turnout. He held an event across the street somewhere else in downtown

Dallas, where it was like at a food bank, food drive, I guess you could say it's a good thing if it's not a huge turnout. But he did give an interview.

He had several. But one of them to Fox News is Brooke Taylor. Now, I thought Brooke did a really good job of addressing his past positions, asking him about them, and even following up when he tried to disavout. Because make no mistake, Tala Rico disavowed it all, all of it.

Do you still believe there are six genders? No, I missed the mark on that. And then she's like, so are you sitting here today telling me there are only two genders? And he says, absolutely. And then I can't, there was that one. I don't know. There were several that she confronted him with. What bothers me about these follow-up questions is no, when he says no, there's only two.

What I want a reporter to do is look up from their notes, listen to the answer and ask this question, what changed your mind? What made you go from that position to this position? What did you read? What did you see that made you say, oh, you know what, I was wrong? No one ever says that. They just changed their position, but never said it. She said to him, there will be people that hear this and say, you're only changing your opinion for political purposes and this and that. And then he said something like, well, look at my voting record, which is, that requires another thought.

Well, SB 14. It was a bill in Texas that banned gender affirming care for people under the age of 18. And he voted against it, right? And his answer for that is, well, you know, it was overly broad and I want to leave that up to local municipalities or whatever instead of doing it from the level of the state. look, he's fake, Vince. Yeah. The bottom line is a politician. Right?

Yeah. We forget politicians are fake. Yeah. They're all fake. They're all actors. Come on. No. Yeah.

No. For the most part, Will. They start off great and then they become members of the mafia. And then, you know, you got to pay your dues to the family. And then that's what you become. Let's be honest. There's very few. It's not, I don't think that's good.

I don't know. No. Let's look at your own state. Let's look at your own state and look at a guy like Crenshaw. When he came out, I was like, look at this. We got a guy. We're good. We're good.

We got this guy. And how long did it take? How long did it take for him to sell out and become a politician? It's the nature of the beast. It's the nature of the beast. I don't know enough about Crenshaw's positions. Okay, look, there's two criticisms. you can make of politicians, all right? And both of them come, not as 100% indictments,

but a balancing act. Okay, here's one. You go to D.C., you get into, in your analogy, the mafia, you get into the club, you start voting with the party, you have to vote with the party, and you become indistinguishable from all the other ones, right? And that's kind of what I assume your, and that machine is the establishment, Republicans, the power structure that is there, the lobbying firms, the money, all of that that supports you. Now, there's an element of that, Vince. You can't pretend that a politician can go and just ignore all of that. You can't. Or you're never going to get anything done would be their argument. I have to be a part of a team. I have to play within the context of that team. It's not an individual sport. It's how I advance the ball for my constituents. Right. Then the flip side is the politician who goes and is not captured by the machine, but is captured by popularity with the audience. Now, you'd say, is that someone who's being responsive to their constituents? But we have another kind of politician who plays to the crowd all the time.

Do you see what I'm saying? Because they have to stand out. Right, they have to stand out. It isn't a serious politician. They're not getting something done. They're getting really good at, you know, whatever, aliens or whatever it may be. And they're using it as a form of profile elevation on an individual. individual basis by giving what the audience, what they want. And a real politician is somebody that

stands by their principles, but understands the reality of the context that they're in. And that reality, I think, requires responsiveness to the populace, so a level of populism, understand the pulse of the people, and understand the dynamics of what it means to be a politician in D.C. And try to play within the frame. You can't blow the frame up. Look who's tried. Has it ever worked? But as a politician. Honestly, only one.

Only one has that ever worked for. But as a politician, you have to do something in the job besides what it's become now, which is win an election and raise money for your party to get some type of committee seat. Okay. And then at that point, stand out personally somehow through your committee and what you're saying to get your soundbite and what you're doing on X and what you're doing on Instagram. or wherever you're doing it on TikTok. Okay, where are the people that are proposing bills and I'm going to throw the Republicans under the bus on this one?

For the last two years, you had the House, you had the Senate. Where are the bills? Where are the laws being passed, okay, that are actually going to make a difference? Where is the Save Act? Where is anything with the Second Amendment? Give me anything with the Second Amendment. Nothing.

So where are the people coming forward that are doing the job? that's actually getting legislation passed. Show me something with border other than we close the border and the next guy wins the election opens the border. Show me something with immigration. Let me answer that. Please.

The answer is within the Trump administration. And this is why I, you know, whatever, if you want to accuse me of being in the tank or whatever may be, the Trump administration is advancing serious and significant policy changes from the executive office. Yes. You know, when, hold on, yes. So I'll give you a couple of examples.

Okay, number one, almost all the gains that we've made on immigration, and there have been massive gains over the last year and a half, we have H-1B visas down. We have much stricter on legal immigration. We have, you could argue deportations are not high enough, but one thing you would have to say is that for the first time in decades, we have. of net negative migration into the United States. But we'll codify it into a law. Let's take a quick break, but continue this with comedian and lawyer. Vince August on Will Cain Country. Welcome back to Will Cain Country.

We're still hanging out with our friend. Vince August. Okay, hold on, hold on. Go ahead. All I'm saying is this stuff is getting done from the executive branch. So when you start saying, you know, President Trump, this or that, I'll give you another one, the Department of Transportation. Like, one of the things that I know is happening is that, okay, I had this fascinating story told to me lately.

So business needs to make investment in something, right, whatever it is. And they're going to invest in a business, but it needs approval from, say, the FAA or something inside the Department of Transportation. So the approval goes in. In the history of America, this is the way it worked. the whole office is staffed with people who work seven hour days who do very little in their day okay this is the nature of government employment

inside these big Washington DC bureaucracies and nobody wants to say yes to anything why because there's only downside to yes the only thing you can do is get in trouble so there's huge risk aversion so this paper gets pushed paper gets pushed so these things that need approval they neither receive a yes or a no

they receive neither and you're stuck in limbo whereas capital would like to hear no as much as they would like to hear yes so they can decide where to move their capital if i can't do that then i'm going to invest in something else but because of the way government has worked in the past let's call it 200 million dollars that 200 million dollars is stuck in limbo for months and years and it's not being deployed into the economy to actually begin the process of innovation so efficiency getting things done this is what's happening in the executive office to the legislative side which i know you want to push me toward. Yes, please. The problem there, largely, I think the problem with the legislative side is twofold. One, the vision agenda of the Republican Party is predicated and

defined right now by best exemplified by a Republican from Texas, quite honestly. But there are Republicans from New York. There are Republicans from New Jersey. And their voters are different than the voter in Texas. And so, you know, if a Mike Lawler feels differently than me about immigration, and he does, you know, what are you to do? What are you to do? He has to answer to his constituents. You go into a room and you write a bill. You do something. You can't live executive order to executive order every four years. No, I know that. Because then we're, in 2028, what are we going to do? A 2020, you know, new Democratic president comes in and signs all new executive orders to undo these executive orders.

Part of the reason why we have... No, listen, I am arguing you're doing the best that you can in the way that it's structured right now. Because the other, I said there was two things. One is the existence of moderate Republicans and moderate Republicans. You have to understand with a moderate Republican from, say, New York, your option isn't a moderate Republican versus a hardcore Republican. Your option is a moderate Republican or a Democrat.

That's your option. But the second thing is the filibuster. literally nothing can get through the Senate. Nothing. Nothing can get through the Senate. Then get rid of it. And you have to realize that, guys. Then get rid of it.

You had the House and Senate for two years. You would have passed legislation. You can't get something through the Senate without, what are we at right now? Nine Democrats? But Will, they didn't get. Nine Democrats. They didn't get rid of the filibuster because they don't trust themselves. The Republicans didn't trust themselves to get anything done.

And what they were worried about, this is the fear. The fear is, yeah, if we get rid of the filibuster, we're good now while we have the House and the Senate, but you know what? What's going to happen in two years when we lose it? What do you mean when you lose it? If you do the job right and get rid of the filibuster and enact laws and pass laws to make the country better,

then you're not going to lose in two years. Then you're going to actually make the change that makes substantial significant impact on the country. It's codified. I think it's legitimate fear. What would Democrats do with 51 senators, no filibuster, and the House majority? then we just stalemate each other into doing nothing.

I, well, and then you have an interesting debate, is stalemate better than what Democrats would do with a majority? It's for the Democrat Party is going right now. For big business, it's fantastic. Because then... Because what Democrats would do right now is so radical that it's, you probably should be afraid of them being able to do something with only 51 senators.

And for big, and you know what, for Wall Street, it's fantastic. Stale made in government is great for Wall Street. So great. So then, and Bernie's not wrong here. Then the rich get richer. The bigger corporations become bigger. And the average guy is sitting back hoping that what? There's going to be a change at some point in time or I hope we don't lose the next election because we're going to get executive ordered right out of what we did. I still want to see the people in the House and the Senate actually go to work. and do something besides their five-minute grandstanding on hearings and making videos and, you know, trying to get their personality across. And no, somebody actually come up with a bill.

Come up with a bill. And if we have conservative Republicans and moderate Republicans that can't sit in a room, then forget it. Then nothing's ever going to get done because we can't talk to the other side. Okay. So take this full circle back to Tala Rico. Tala Rico is fake. We got into this because you said they're all fake.

I'm hesitant to join you all. Most. Okay. But Talarico's fake, and you say to yourself, is he fake both times? When he's saying there's six genders and he says that his heart goes out to trans kids and that he wants boys playing girls sports, is that playing to the crowd? Was he playing to the far left crowd? Or the version of Talarico now that is saying, no, I don't believe any of those things. I want to get elected to a statewide office in Texas.

So is this version fake? and it's my belief that this version is fake. The other version is what's real about Tala Rico. That's the one, because he was saying these things when, you know, barely anybody was listening. And that's worse. And I'm going to show you the slickness. So here is Brooke Taylor asking him about God being non-binary. 2020, you said God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is non-binary.

Do you still stand by that? I was being provocative with that statement. I get that. What I was trying to say is that you can't use human categories to define God. And that's not controversial, theological. Okay, I have a lot on this, Vince. You go first. First of all, anyone that actually has a conversation about what God is or isn't should be, discredited immediately. Okay, as a human being, having an opinion, if you believe

in God, having an opinion about something that you can have no knowledge about or grasp of whatsoever just shows me that you're a f***ing asshole out of the gate. Let's be honest. Wow. Wow. I mean, yeah, I can't hold

back on that anymore. I mean, come on. And this is where people have to be true. Sorry, YouTube. This is where people have to be true to themselves. If you're truly religious person. If you're a truly religious person and you truly believe in God, okay, your only relationship

to God is reverence. It's not trying to figure out and decipher what God is. Okay, so, and getting back to your point of what's the real version of him or not the real version of him, neither. Because he doesn't have the courage of his

convictions if the first version is true. And if that's the case, then you're phony all the way. I would rather the first version of you be real and you stick with it. At least I know what you are. But now I don't even believe that you believe that. Okay. So I'm curious.

I want to sound this out. For some reason, I think that my thoughts are sloppy on this because I've never heard anybody really agree with me when I say this. Yeah. I did it yesterday on TV and I felt like that didn't land what I'm trying to communicate. And I did it on the call with Dan and Pat. And I felt the same thing. That didn't land. but like any bull in the china closet, I'm still spinning.

So let's see what place. Keep going, baby. Let's go. So, interestingly, it doesn't bother me like you that he is saying God is neither masculine or feminine in this type. It doesn't bother me because God exists on a plane that exceeds and defies humanity. You know what I mean? Period. Is God man? Is he woman? Is he masculine? I don't know. Right? And I don't think he is limited by earthly conceptions. And so Talariko, if you were sitting here with me, would be nodding. Exactly. He'd say, exactly. That's my point. And then I would say to Tariko, but, dude, you chose to use the word non-binary. You didn't pick that up out of the blue.

Thank you. That was a purposeful choice. And you used that very, not only human term, but recently developed and invented human term. We didn't use the word non-binary prior to five years ago. And all of a sudden now God is nine binary? This thing that progressives invented within the last half decade all of a sudden is God? All of a sudden is God? They co-opted.

That is. Yeah. Yes. They co-opted. And now you're assigning your trendy, fattish language, and I'm going to get to the deeper point in a minute, to God. And that is false prophecy. That is fake. That is you using, that is taking God's name in vain.

No, it's worse, will. It's worse. It's calculated because I have to speak to the people that don't listen to me. What is the thing that joins those people and unites those people that galvanize those people? God. So you know what? I'm going to co-opt the thing that speaks and resonates to them and say, here's how I relate to you and the thing that you all agree. We all agree. God, right? God is everything. It's even worse. It's sinister. It's sinister. Yeah. I totally agree, Vince. It is sinister. That's a good word. And I'll go further in where I think it's sinister. Okay. So now,

even if I can accept that God is your current modern-day progressive newspeak, you know, from 1984, newspeak, non-binary. So what? So what if God is? Why does that tell you that children therefore should be? Right? So you are saying that God defies human definitions of gender. So therefore humans do as well?

and little kids do as well, you're putting humans on equal plane to God then. What you're suggesting is if God is these things, you too can and should be these things. And what you've done now is instilled in people the idea, and I know I'm going deep here,

but you are little mini gods. You define your future. You define your gender. You define your existence in the same way as God. And that is the part that I'm truly offended. by. Not so much you're opining on God. What really offends me is what you're telling children through

the false prophecy of God. And that, I think, is to your word, sinister. And he said, you know, I was being provocative. No, you were being calculating. That's what you were being. Yes. You were being calculating. It was not something that just came to your head that, you know what? That was what I was feeling at the moment and I wanted to use language that was going to strike at people's court. No, no. You were being calculating. You're like, I've got to try to make this message connect with people that aren't aligned with me. What aligns them? Aha, religion. So you know what? I'm going to co-opped God to make this point. And then when it didn't sell and now he's got to face the music and it was like, oh, wow, I got it back out of this. So you know what? Yeah, I was just being provocative. You know what?

can still all agree on the God thing, right? Yeah. And this is part of why I think he's so fake, man. I just think he's so fake and it applies to, oh, yeah, you know, he did the same thing on the six-geners thing. He lives in talking points. He's like, what I was really, what I really think is there's two genders, but there's this other group of people who, and then he kind of like tries to lean on the idea of

intersex. Intersex has become this, like, they feel like it's just get out of jail-free card. No one thinks intersex and gender transitions are the same thing. That's not the same thing. Why do you keep invoking intersex? Okay, there are people a very, very, very small percentage of people who are born with some mixed up sex organs, right? That does not mean, then therefore, everybody who is not born that way can just switch when they feel like it, like a God. But Dan just nailed it.

And Dan just nailed why I feel the majority of these people are fake. because they're talking points. And talking points are not what you think or feel. There's no courage in the conviction. There's no conviction, right. So none of it is real, Will, that's the point. None of it. It's talking points.

Dan nailed it. So they latch on to, here's going to be my platform, my talking points. We're going to run it. And if not, we'll delete that one. We'll change the talking point to better. Listen, Clinton did this in the 90s. What was Clinton's whole thing in the 90s? Whatever the polls say, that's what I'm saying.

This started back 30 years ago, and he was the master of it. He went with the polls, whatever the poll, and now everyone is doing it. The difference is it's just because we've become so tribal and everything has become so reduced to difference. It's which group can I latch on to that's going to give me the most currency. And whatever that currency is right now, that's the thing I don't understand. Are you playing to your voters? Are you playing to X? or you're playing to social media.

That's the only, that's what I would love to get into the minds of these people is what is the thing that changes, again, that talking point. Clip culture. That's it. They want to clip. And Tala Rico got clips, not the right ones. Then they had to walk back his clips for another clip. You know what I mean?

It's just this back and forth is insane. And listen, there were legit people out there. Like Chip Roy, there were people out there. And there are many, too many to name, that I'm like, Like, yeah, these people really, they're trying to go to Washington and do something right. You know, and the first person that popped in my head was Chip. And there are people like that, Will, they really are. So I don't want to disparage everybody.

You know, I'm being hyperbolic when I say they're all phonies, obviously. But it's... Just most. Yeah. I think it's more than a majority. Whoa. Come on now. Like, we go after women.

We don't mean our women. We just mean most women, you know. We love you, ladies. Not you, Suzanne. See, he did the look away like Trump. Look, Will just did the look away. There was the punchline and he did the look away. I got to reel it in.

As the captain of this ship, there's way too many sailors out here taking shots at women. Ladies, I'm going to start throwing a motor. What are you captain? This ship has no rudder. You don't want a captain of the ship. It's bad for my brand. As a lefty. We've got no rudder.

We got no pinwheel. You don't want a captain this ship. Trust me. Let's take a quick break, but continue this with comedian and lawyer. Vince August on Will Cain Country. Welcome back to Will Cain Country. We're still hanging out with our friend. Vince August.

Hey, I saw this. Patrick saw it too. Let's see. Did you give me? Yes. All right. Vince, I don't know that you care about this. And I think that's actually part of the conversation.

Netflix has bought the options and has ordered a lonesome dove series. I don't know who these people are, Patrick, from Zoe. Kazan and Jeb Stewart. Those must be the producers of the production company. I'm not familiar with their work. So Zoe Kazan She's on some big movies. She's an actress, but she also

is a playwright. I looked her up because I'm like... She looks young. With Kumel and Johnny. I didn't trust her initially. And then I'm like looking up her stuff. And I'm like, oh, maybe she's legit. So, you know, I don't want to go around saying that she's not.

Okay, Vince, did you see Lonesome Dove? Lonesome Dove, and I don't want to take for granted that people know what it is, because it was a mini-series on television. I believe it was 1990 or 91, or maybe 89, that it came out. It starred Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Duvall, Danny Glover, Diane Lane, Angelica Houston. I forget the name of the actor that played Jake Spoon. A ton of heavy hitters.

Yeah. You're rattling off heavy hitters. A ton of heavy hitters. Yeah. Robert Eurek. Did you see it? Yeah, Robert Eurek. I was in college at the time.

It wasn't something that was on my radar. I'm familiar. I mean, it's based on the book. It's a cattle drive, right? Basically how people went. Was it? Texas to Montana. Montana.

Okay, yeah. I mean, I'm familiar with the story, but that I was, you know, a series watch or no. Will literally blueprinted its whole life around this. Yeah, this is true. I'm literally true. It's 100% true. He did it, Texas to Connecticut. Yeah.

No. He's a little, no. He's a little right. I mean, really? Yeah, I moved to Montana. Wow. In some part, inspired by Lonesome Dove. Yeah, I mean, Lonesome Dove is the story of two former Texas Rangers.

Augustus McCray and Woodrow call. And they get it in their head that Montana is this, this paradise. And, you know, the famous line from Tommy Lee Jones played Woodrow Call is, I want to get up there, Gus. I want to get it before all the bankers and the lawyers get it. I want to see that place. So they take a herd and, you know, they put together a team of cowboys and they drive it this herd to Montana. And of course, that's not just like catching a plane from New York to L.A. That's months and months. And the story is the adventures along that catter trail, which include Indian fights, which include nature, which include love

stories, but at its heart, it is a buddy film. Honestly, that's what it's a buddy film about these two guys who, and, and it's, it, I'm not alone to Patrick's point of modeling my life. Like, I make this point in a lot of interviews that I've made, like, my generation, I'm Gen X in Texas, like, I know, I know a guy who named his son call. Like, I know a call. Call's in his 20s or 30s now, right and i mean everybody loves gus and there's cowboy hats whose style is called the gus

and you know the lines from robert devolve throughout that show are are time immemorial i mean by the way it's a great book on top of that larry mcmurtry's a great writer i don't know if you guys are familiar with larry mcmurtry he's written a lot of great books terms of endearment

so and forth um but it's it's kind of perfection Vince, in large part, because the performance from those two guys in particular, oh, Ricky Schroeder's in it. I forgot to mention Ricky Schroeder, too. But Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones inhabited those two characters to such perfection that it could not been done better, period.

And Diane Lane, by the way, is up there, too. It's Lori Darling. She's incredible. And, I mean, you know, I've played it. When Robert DeVall died, I've played the clips of him with Charlie Rose. And I do a speech where I talk about this. Robert Duval said, let the English have their Macbeths,

let them have princes standing around in the castle, holding a skull, pondering their own existence. He goes, give me Augustus McCray. That is our American story. That's our American playwright story. And so my point in, in the larger conversation, is, yeah, what is it? 35 years old, I don't think you should remake it. There's no way to do it better. You can't

bring back Robert Duvall. Tommy Lee Jones is too old. And maybe the parallel for you, Vince, would be the godfather. Like, you don't remake the godfather. You don't have another Marlon Brando. You don't have another Al Pacino. It would be an experiment in, another Robert Duval. Another Robert Duval again, right. It'd be an experiment in failure to try to remake the godfather. And that's what it'll be with Lones from Dove. So here's my thing on remakes. One, like you just said, if you have something that was done so well by such an amazing cast, one, why would you want to try to redo it?

You know, it's like I'm going to do it. You know what? I'm a painter. I'm going to recreate a Mona Lisa. Why? It's done. It's there. Go do your own thing.

The problem with that approach is, and I think it's, easier to do it with music than it is with film is if you've ever heard a band cover or song and then you hear the second band do it better than the first band like to me the first song that comes to my mind guns and roses live and let die i i think their version blows away mccartney's version by it's not even close night and day so with music you see it and you know there are certain covers that you're like wow this second version is better sometimes it doesn't work out. With film and television, it's different because of what you just, and what we're talking about is, what are you going to do to make it different because

the film, all right, so now we've gone from actual film to HD, whereas with music, you know, the instruments have changed. So what is it going to be? Cinematography-wise, we're going to get better visuals. The other thing that I'm hesitant to just immediately say no, is that when you have a great story like that, I wouldn't want someone to retell it if it could be retold well. The problem is, is it going to be retold well, or are we going to get, you know, what winds up being, you know, like the last Star Wars trilogy where they take a new hope and basically redo it and we're going to change the, you know, the Luke Skywalker character to a female character, Ray, and it's the same movie, it's the same thing.

But, no, we're calling it something to see. See, that's where it becomes a problem. So it's, again, if you can tell the same story again to a new generation of people, I'm all for it. It's just hard to pay, you know, that homage to it to keep it the same, you know, at least consistent or near it. Could be done. I love the idea. It can be done. It's possible.

I love the idea of bringing something to a new generation because like I've even wanted to share Lonesome Dove with my sons, right? And I'm worried. Like the pacing and the cinematography doesn't meet modern day standards. Exactly. It just doesn't. Right. The technology. And I get it.

Yeah. And I get it. But God bless, you cannot find someone to play Gus that I'll watch because there is only one Gus. It's Robert Rueh. And there's no other way to play him in my mind. Don't. I feel sorry for the actor. I guarantee.

Whatever actor, I feel really sorry for that actor. Yeah. Who? Who? Timothy Shalman. He'll probably be in it. There's a 50% change. Yeah.

I'm writing alongside Elliot Page. Are you kidding? But look, Vince, there are remakes. Like, Kate Fear with Robert De Niro, right? I was a kid when that came out in the 90s, whatever. Right. I thought it was really good. It wasn't until later that I knew that was a remake.

Like Cape Fear was a, what, 1950s? They just remade it again. Right. Remade it again. It's a TV show now. Yeah. That's right. But the 90s made sense.

It was a very big. remake time because there was a big disconnect between the older 40s, 50s, 60s movies, and then the 90s technology and the color and all that kind of thing. I think that there was a reason. There's so many. But it's like now it's like the difference isn't much. The difference is actually you're going to get it more high definition. It's going to look kind of weird.

The coloring is going to be a little off. They're doing Harry Potter right now and everything is like really gray. There's no color to it anymore. But to be clear, I'm not opposed to this idea in general, but I just think there are certain works of art that it's just like... It's such a high bar. I don't know. It's such a high bar, dude. You know, I used to...

This is a bad, bad analogy, but like, first take, it was always like, do you want to be the guy that replaces Skip Bayliss? That's not actually a good place to be. You know what I mean? Like, that's not... Do you want to be the coach that follows Bill Belichick? That's not a good place to be. But that's... Do you want to be the coach that follows Nick Sabin?

I don't think you want to do that. But that's different because somebody has to. This is not one of those things you have to do. Somebody has to take that job. You know, again, I hate to say don't do it because then all of a sudden it's done. And you see this thing and you're like, wow, that's amazing. Okay, if you read they were remaking the Godfather, how would you feel? Would you be open to it?

I would be open to it from the standpoint of, again, what are you going to do in the job? change in terms of are you going to change the time period it's done? Because if you're not, if you're going to make a modern version of it, okay, that's different. If you're going to say, no, no, no, it's going to be set in the same time

period. We're post-World War II. We're going to, you know, 1967, 1970. Well, then, what are you changing? Godfather Three ruined the possibility of that. Oh, God. We don't mention that movie. Just because they made that, you can't remake the other two. I don't even know that. We should get really creative with the story. I think I think you're right

Vince. So like we should take we should take the godfather set it in set it in gangland Chicago take Lonesome Dove, set it in you know space you know the front final frontier so you just take the stories and just put the

Just a modern twist Yeah I mean when you do it to a movie that's unknown It's easier like the Denzel Washington movie with where the kid gets kidnapped Man on Fire. Man on Fire. So, Man on Fire.

So, that movie is originally an Italian movie. Really? Yeah, it's the original book He would know. It's about, yeah, it's about kidnappings

that were happening in Italy. And it was a prevalent thing in Nopoli that was going on and it was a movie made in Italy that was redone. So it wasn't something someone was familiar with. It wasn't something

anybody knew about. And although this was prevalent happening in that country, they're like, you know what? Let's change. it to Mexico. Phenomenal. Phenomenal. But again, the bar, the bar wasn't there.

You know, there was no bar. No one even knew there was a bar. Like you said, there's certain things like Cape Fear. No one even knew it was a remake. So, when you have, you know, and again, my God, that cast that you just named, wow, who wants to

try to pull that off? And there are very few. There are very few vents that I'm putting in this category of don't, don't do that. That's a real bad idea. See, don't remake Godfather. Don't remake Lonesome Dock. Don't remake The Big Lobowski. Don't remake these movies.

So here's my pushback. And again, I'm not comparing the genres. I'm not comparing the movies. So, you know, again, Lonesome Dove is Loansdown. But look at what happened with Batman. Okay, you look at the 80s version of Batman. What was that? The Tim Burton version.

Then you look at the Christopher Nolan Batman. And you're like, this is Batman. This is a comic book. You could do as many as you want. Right. So, right. So it's, again, different genre. You could get away with it and be like, this guy nailed it.

Because to me, at least the first two Nolan Batman's, I'm like, that's Batman. That's the comic book I read as a kid. All right, before we go, since you're a dual citizen, divided loyalties and a bandwagoner. Bandwagon American. I knew you knew. Banwagon everything. Like, I didn't even know that he was a Steelers fan. So what is he?

He's a Maple. How are you not Jets or Giants? What the hell? The fact that you don't remember. What Canadian hockey teams are you fan of? Guys, we've talked about this a lot. Thank you, Patrick. I was literally on this show a year ago wearing a Steelers sweatshirt

being interviewed by you. So the fact that you don't remember, that's on you. Yes, it was you. You were actually here. We were sitting next to each other. You were in New York. Was it Timothy Salome playing me? No, it was you.

And your hair looked better a year ago. Steelers, Quebec, Nordiques? No, Montreal Canadiens. Montreal Canadiens. He's just trying to watch that knife a little bit. Steelers, Pirates, Canadians, Celtics. That got me. Yeah, it makes sense.

Celtics. It was from the 70s. I was a kid. I grew up in the 70s. These were the teams that were on TV. You have to understand, my dad. Italy. I'm a Packer fan because of Italians.

But it's a different upbringing because my dad. was an Italian immigrant. He didn't watch sports. So it wasn't like there was a dad to pass on his teams to me. My dad did his whole life never watched American sports. He watched Italian soccer. That was it. What soccer team did he give you? New York Red Bulls? No. The Italian national team. What are you talking about? There was no New York. But back then it was the Cosmos. No, but what about what about in Syria? Napoli? No, Palermo has a team. And right now they're in Seria B, but then if, you know, we would just gravitate to whatever Seria team there was that year, we just follow that team. It was dependent because back then, that's all your, with all your

divided loyalties, you're probably an expert witness on this last story. The Buffalo Bills add the Canadian National Anthem to their pre-game home opener. So I asked for a couple of details here. By the way, here's a big detail. So this is for their home opener, Patrick. So now this tells me they're doing it for one game. Patrick, you're ready to produce. Sure. Are they playing this in Buffalo? Or maybe they're not playing it in Buffalo. Are they playing it in Canada?

Well, damn, Will. That really threw me for a loop. Yeah, before we get all outraged about this. I just wanted to be outraged. Yes. Their first game, right? They're playing Houston. Home opener.

Home opener. You got to read the words. I'm really paying attention here. Home opener. Don't worry. As much time as you think is left in the show, Will, according to a clock in Michigan, we have more time. Don't worry about it.

Well, Highmark Stadium's a new stadium. So there we go. We've solved it. Boom. Where are they playing? Yes. Where? In Buffalo?

We're so good at this. They are playing in Buffalo. Yes. That's where the new stadium. The new stadium. Oh, oh, I just found out a new tidbit. I found a new tidbit. So bare-necked ladies are the ones singing the national anthem.

So maybe that's why. Because they're Canadian? Yeah. Yeah, but that doesn't give you the right. It doesn't give you the right. No. So now we can go back to being outraged. Yeah.

Why are they playing the Canadian National Anthem at an American stadium for an American team, playing another American team in American sport? Why are they playing the Canadian National Anthem in Buffalo? If you stand close enough to the edge of Toronto on Lake Ontario, when the Bill's game kicks off and listen closely, you could probably hear the music from the stadium. What's wrong, Patrick? Did you mess the story up?

No. It is called Lake America now. Oh, I'm sorry. When you're on this side of the border, pal. Brother. I want to clarify. Come on now. It's an official EO.

Can I give you guys a hot take? I'm not into renaming New Mexico and New America. I'm not into it. Me either. Did you see what South Park did? Oh, they're calling it South America? Yeah, that chance. In honor of Trump, they're going to change Park to America.

So now the show is called South America. Those guys are genius. You got the best thing that ever happened to the First Amendment, Parker and Stone. So I have an answer about the national... Go ahead. Dan. Okay. Let's go on. I'm going to put a pin in my take.

Go ahead. Okay. The decision represents a neighborly gesture towards southern Ontario and Toronto, where the franchise has a massive fan base. while Buffalo area sports teams like the New York's NHL Sabres and all them play both national anthems already. But they are doing an American national anthem as well. This is treason. Yeah.

Well, thank you. We're in the middle of a trade war with Canada. We are. It's just a neighborly not. They're close. No. No, no. They are on the other side of the border.

Come on. Let me. I have to be on the other side because my wife and her family. If you're playing a Canadian team, you can do a neighborly gesture of playing the Canadian National Anthem like they do in hockey. If you're playing in Canada, you can play the Canadian National Anthem in an American sport. But if you're playing in America with two American teams, there is no call for the Canadian National Anthem. The lack of a Canadian national anthem apparently did nothing to hold back those Canadian fans from becoming Bill's fans.

So why do you need to do it now? It's a great point. Why do you need to do it now? It's a neighborly gesture. I think it's a nephew to certain people. There are things you do for neighbors. You take them a pie. You offer to help when their sprinkler system is broken.

You take the empty trash can back up for them if they're old and they're not getting to it. There are things you do for a neighbor. But you don't change your last name to the neighbor's last name out of a neighboring gesture. There are things you don't do. Will you play their favorite son? the new stadium. You don't make your last name hyphenated. You don't make your last name hyphenated.

You know what? Vince is my neighbor, and we've been a neighbor for a long time. So I'm going to start going by Will August Kane. Or put their flag up on your lawn. Like, say your neighbor's Canadian, you don't put their flag next to yours. You don't do it. It's unacceptable. I do have good maple syrup.

My name was August. You don't have a lot of Mexican flags. I would go by. When I visit him in Texas, I meet American flag. Will of August. I think Will Cain August is going to raise the Italian flag right underneath it because he so wants to be Jersey and he so wants to be Italian. I'll say this, if my name was August, I'd go by Gus.

Let me tell you. I can't wait until you come back to New York, take you to Jersey, take you gold chain shopping. I can't wait for that day. Take you right across the river. I'm going to get you a Gus cowboy. We're going to suit up my boy, Will. Pinky ring and necklace.

I got to go do R&C stuff, boys. It takes a couple hours to get into that stadium. So you got to get moving quick. We always enjoy having Vince August on. Check him out at Vince runs his mouth. It's unbelievably. He still doesn't know the email address. Still doesn't know the email address.

Still, to this day. Vince August 21. Follow us on Spotify, Apple. We'll see you again next time. Thank you, Will. Listen ad free with a Fox News podcast plus subscription on Apple Podcast. podcast and Amazon Prime members. You can listen to this show, ad free on the Amazon music app.
